To Another Generation

The Vision

Look at all that King Jesus has done. He has been so faithful to us as a church family. When Emmaus Church was first planted in September of 2010, the mission that King Jesus had called us to was clear and simple: preach God’s Word verse by verse, point everyone to Jesus Christ, make disciples in obedience to Jesus, and plant more churches that will do the same thing. Over the years God has continued to bless this mission, and He has continued to grow and bless His Church.

Now here we are in what is undoubtedly the most significant and exciting season in the history of this church family. The LORD has blessed us with 30 acres of exceedingly good and beautiful land, and He has given us the magnificent opportunity to do something that very few people actually get to do. We get to build a gospel proclaiming, Jesus exalting, Bible preaching, disciple making church for the next generation.

Pastor Anson

O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds. So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.

Psalm 71:17-18

The Journey

Where We've Been

Emmaus Church began more than fifteen years ago with a small group of people who were passionate about Jesus and committed to Scripture, gathering first in a gym and later in a movie theater before eventually meeting where we are now. From the beginning our heart has been simple and biblical: follow Jesus, make disciples, and plant churches.

Those early years were marked by humble spaces and wholehearted devotion as God continued to provide, shape, and grow a church family centered on the gospel. What began as a few believers seeking to know Christ and make Him known became the foundation of a community that has experienced God’s faithfulness again and again.

Where We Are

Today Emmaus Church is experiencing a season of remarkable growth as the Lord continues to move among His people. Our average weekly attendance has increased from six hundred in 2018 to more than nine hundred in 2025, with this past September averaging more than one thousand people each week and showing fifteen percent year-to-year growth. All of our ministries are also seeing significant growth, and the Lord is doing an incredible work in the next generation at Emmaus Church.

Through all of this, God has provided abundantly, including the incredible gift of purchasing land at the corner of Ridge Road and Thompson Mill Road in Buford, which now stands as a clear reminder of His faithfulness and His continued work in our church family.

Where We're Headed

As Emmaus Church looks to the future, we are trusting God to provide the resources to build a permanent home for our church family, a place where generations to come can worship, learn, and be equipped to follow Jesus. We believe that this vision God is calling us into can only be accomplished with unified focus on this Gospel work that will impact generations to come, with every one of us aligned in prayer and generosity to accomplish this great work.
